Super Bowl will be streamed online for first time

If peering over commuters’ shoulders in the morning is any indication, laptops, tablets and smart phones are quickly becoming many people’s preferred means of watching videos.

Now, they’ll be able to watch the biggest event of them all on the small screen: the Super Bowl.

The NFL announced on Tuesday that it will be streaming the Super Bowl, Pro Bowl and Wild Card Saturday on NFL.com and via Verizon’s NFL Mobile app. NBC already streams Sunday Night Football, but the Super Bowl has never been broadcast online or on phones before (legally, at least).

Perhaps jealous of the love that the ever-popular CBS March Madness streaming bonanza has received over the past few years, the NFL streams will offer additional angles, live stats and highlights with their online and mobile broadcasts.
